15 in. MacBook Pro 2013 Retina
16 GB RAM
Mac OS Yosemite
Fusion 7
Windows 7 VM with 2 CPU, 2 GB RAM, Shared networking
CentOS 6 VM with 2 CPU, 2 GB RAM, Shared networking
Every day I move my laptop between 2 different locations, home and work. I just leave the laptop in sleep, then wake up at the other location. Very frequently after I change locations and start up the VM in Fusion, the VMs start behaving extremely slowly. The spinning beachball appears. Keystrokes take several minutes to register in the VM. In Activity Monitor, the vmware-vmx process consumes large amounts of CPU. And all this is just at the VM login screen. All other applications run fine.
Changing the VM networking between bridged and shared does not help. Quitting and restarting Fusion does not help. The only way I can restore normal performance this is to reboot the Mac. But several days to a week later, it happens again. I also had this problem with Fusion 6 and OS X Mavericks.
Is anyone else having these problems, and is there any way to fix this besides rebooting?
